That's fine to discuss, but let's stick to the topic. During World War II, Britain did not even hold elections, because.... there was a war going on. So it's pretty great to have elections in the middle of a (civil) war.
Not if you are arresting people for leading the opposition.
Compared to what? Not allowing elections. Is there any place that meets your standards?
No place on Earth today or in history meets my standards, and that is not a reason to abandon the concept of having standards at all.
Same for me!
But I still wouldn't call old Honest Abe a dictator. Because he doesn't meet that standard either.
